An investigation has begun into the death of a senior detective in a Dublin Garda station last night. The dead officer, who was in his 50s and one of the most seasoned detectives in the force, was found dead in an office at Ballymun Garda station, north Dublin. While no foul play is suspected, the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc) is legally obliged to investigate all such cases. Gsoc must also investigate any injury or death occurring in a Garda station, as was the case last night, or in a Garda vehicle. The officer who died last night was a leading figure in the investigation that resulted in the trial currently underway.
